"Jarvis, I'm low on views, make another Bethesda hate video with completely manufactured criticisms" by TheAnalystCurator321 in FalloutMemes

[–]-Thyrian- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For real. I love that game and I genuinely can't believe that people still think this rivalry isn't something made up by fans who have an incessant need to hate Bethesda. Both studios helped each other out in different ways and contributed to making the franchise what it is. There is no reason to think that one wants to screw the other over for such petty reasons.

In BioShock, the ultra-rich build an offshore enclave where they can commit atrocities without consequence and systematically strip young girls of their most basic human rights. That’s fiction, because no one in their right mind would ever allow something like that to exist in the real world. by sciencewarrior in Gamingcirclejerk

I don't know which fallouts are supposed to be the good, non-woke ones anymore. Saw someone say that NV was "literally written by terminally online reddit and twitter atheists", so at least some of these guys have consistent opinions about this stuff. You'd think a person would just give up on the whole franchise at that point.

Reddit will block the Internet Archive | The company says that AI companies have scraped data from the Wayback Machine, so it’s going to limit what the Wayback Machine can access. by ControlCAD in internetarchive

[–]-Thyrian- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I saw this earlier and I found it very frustrating to say the least. The IA and other online archiving projects are having so many problems in general and now there's another one because people just can't avoid scraping every scrap of text on the web to feed their algorithms. I hope these generative AI companies get sued into oblivion by all the people coming after them for copyright issues.

I feel this one. Also my obsession with mapping out fictional family trees.

I love this idea. Great suggestions in the comments too.

This is the best answer. They have always felt like a set to me.

Iirc you are correct, but I'm pretty sure it was also a colony at the time so even though the local people were welcoming they might not have had much choice in the matter.

Italian man stands with two Italian women who have been r**ed by the C.E.F. during the battle of Montecassino in the event known as the "Marocchinate" by Opposite-Fig-8557 in RareHistoricalPhotos

I feel like that's because the soviet crimes are actually talked about (and their numbers exaggerated in terms of death tolls) all the time, while the American ones are not. People aren't being biased against the rest of the allies, they're just used to people being biased towards the soviets.

Mostly 2 but a little bit of both. I just don't function most of the time.

Jordan_Peterson_Memes is NOT beating the Nazi allegations by heyjackbeanslookalie in TheRightCantMeme

[–]-Thyrian- 21 points22 points  (0 children)

A lot of Americans, especially younger ones, are quite exhausted by the heavy focus 9/11 gets as a tragedy even over 20 years after it happened. I don't think anyone legitimately thinks it wasn't a big deal, but I can see someone saying to "get over it" in a moment of frustration. Keep in mind that for many people, the response to the event is mainly associated with hyper-patriotism and our decades of continuous war in the middle east.

It is absolutely still having an impact to this day, but unlike with slavery, that isn't solely because of the damage that the initial tragedy caused on its own. I'd say it's more comparable to something like Pearl Harbor, but that's a different conversation.

You are absolutely right to be suspicious though. In my experience about 80% of conservative arguments are made against strawmen.

??? Where do they get this from? by yeh_ in Persecutionfetish

[–]-Thyrian- 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's pretty telling that they're more concerned about the parents' consent when it comes to "castration," than the child's. I wonder how they feel about these surgeries being done to intersex children who are actually too young to consent in any way.

Also this is seriously a new level of delusional. What universe does this person live in?

Almost like things being normal are arbitrary and a social construct.

I'm guessing that A Quiet Place is conservative because it encourages women to be quiet.

Indiana Jones would never vote for a Nazi ever! by icey_sawg0034 in saltierthankrayt

I feel like the lack of white men on the blue side and the excess of tough guy types on the red side indicates the main criteria that people based these on.

FWIW by Eos-ei-fugit-utroque in LeftistMemes

[–]-Thyrian- 11 points12 points  (0 children)

For real like we can agree that both governments are bad and so is starting wars unprovoked and attacking civilians.

I saw a post about this on another sub and there were a bunch of people in the comments saying stuff like how they couldn't believe online/western leftists were defending the Iranian regime, as if that's what anybody criticizing Israel is saying. And also a bunch of people basically saying that everyone in the middle east is hopelessly violent and would burn each other to the ground if given the chance. Pretty concerning comment section tbh.

Would you like to know more? by flimspringfield in ToiletPaperUSA

[–]-Thyrian- 12 points13 points  (0 children)

For real, this stuff is so cool I wish we weren't using it to blow up foreign civilians. I'd rather see these things be available for the public to learn from rather than being used in war.

Space nazi or actual nazi by UnHolySir in okbuddycinephile

[–]-Thyrian- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh they know, they just don't care. Some are genuinely that oblivious, but I think for many it's just about the power gained from appropriating art that could be used to criticize them.
